By Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Associate Editor
Let’s say for a moment that you own a small business and use a Skype ( News - Alert) account for voice communications. You would like to be able to conduct conference calls over the Skype connection without having to huddle around the computer with the connection. What’s the best way to do this?
One solution would be to install TRENDnet’s new ClearSky Bluetooth Conference Phone Kit for Skype, which enables hands-free VoIP  conferencing using Skype. The kit includes a conference phone unit and Bluetooth adapter for wireless connection with range of up to 328 feet.
Although physically lightweight, the phone unit that comes with TRENDnet’s kit is not lacking in features, which include:
+ Integrated LCD screen with multi-language support (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian)
+Touchpad for controlling Skype functions
+ Battery with four hours of talk time/72 hours of standby time
+ Recharges via USB connection
+ Acoustic echo cancellation technology
+ Headset support
+ 2-year warrantee
“Small and medium size businesses are increasingly looking to VoIP solutions such as Skype as means of saving on long-distance phone charges,” TRENDnet’s senior marketing manager, Zak Wood, noted in a statement.
He added that the new ClearSky kit, part of TRENDnet’s VoIP solutions line, was designed specifically with the SMB market in mind.
“We are experiencing strong interest in this product and are working hard to meet demand,” Wood said.
TRENDnet’s ClearSky Bluetooth VoIP Conference Phone Kit (TVP-SP4BK) is available now through online dealers including ProVantage, Computer4Sure and Buy.com for $130-$145.
